Every EMS professional dreams of flying.

We get you ready to live the dream.

Air medical is one of the most desired career paths for EMS professionals – and one of the most competitive. Highly qualified EMTs, paramedics, and nurses are rejected every day because they simply don’t have what it takes to rise above an enormous crowd of candidates.

We can help you make sure you’re one of the ones who get off the ground.

Flight Safety Network is a team of teachers and mentors working full-time in all areas of medical and aviation. In this free newsletter, we give you the proven knowledge of what does – and doesn’t – work to show you’re the right choice for an air medical position, and give you an insider’s look at exactly what it’s like to handle every aspect of an air medical career.

We’re experienced professionals, and we want nothing but the best men and women up there in the air working with us. When we’re called to help, we want people with us who are devoted to giving everything they have, every time. We want people who understand how critical safety is to an air medical situation – for both the crew and the patient – and who hold themselves and their team to the highest standards.

And because we want all of this, we figured we better show you how to do it.

Our training doesn’t hypothesize about what air medical professionals might do in a given situation. We teach you exactly what we will do whenever necessary, and why it’s the right thing to do. We don’t deal in theories. We deal in experience, in training, and in the highest standards of air medical safety.

You’ll learn:

How to master a flight interview

The insider secrets to fly-along days

Tips on what you should look for in a flight program

What flight programs really want in a candidate

The all-important team approach to air medical safety

How to make the most effective use of every critical member of your team

Landing zone setup and security

And a hell of a lot more

The newsletter is absolutely free to everyone interested in being a part of an air medical team – from the pilots and mechanics to the EMTs, paramedics and nurses to the dispatchers, firefighters, and emergency department staff.

You’ll even get our free ebook, The Flight Stuff – a 30 page guide that explains exactly how to get started as a flight nurse or flight paramedic. We want you on board with us, and we figure showing you what the professionals can do is the best way to get started.

EMS treating other EMS badly is typical. It extends well beyond petty rivalries between competing EMS or air medical services. The bad behavior touches the folks on our own team. It often includes the ground crews who called us to the accident scene.

“If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys” ~Sir James Goldsmith. Admit it. You’ve thought about it. Quitting the whole EMS thing. Being home every night. Spending holidays with your family. Going to all your kids’ ball games. Maybe even putting a little extra money in your paycheck, right? If you’re being honest with yourself…you know you’ve thought about getting a “real” job from time to time.

Helicopter shopping is a dirty little secret in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). A taboo event everybody knows happens, but nobody ever talks about. As operators, lets do more than bury our heads in the sand and attend more memorial services. “Poor aircrew (insert name here), if only they knew about the first three weather turn downs….” Together, lets make a concerted effort to never hear those words.

For years I watched nurses, medics, and EMTs use up so much of themselves helping others, it seemed there was nothing left to take care of themselves. The irony of lifesavers, I suppose. “EMTs, nurses, paramedics and pilots put so much of themselves into saving lives, they unknowingly destroy their own lives in the process.”

An Open Letter To EMS Who Want To Fly. It hurts me to write this. For years, I’ve been the “EMS fly guy.” Not only because I’m good at getting people hired, but because it’s the number one question on the top of every paramedic, pilot and nurse’s mind: “How do I get paid to fly on a trauma helicopter?”

NEW CASTLE, Del. – A pilot was killed in the crash of a medical helicopter in New Castle County, Delaware on Thursday.

Rod Witkos Testimonial

I was skeptical when I first found EMS Flight Safety Network. I really did not want to spend money on stuff I figured I already knew. And with 21 years' experience as a medic, I didn't think there was too much I hadn't already seen.

After completing the EMS Flight Safety Network audio course and coaching with Troy, all I can say is - Wow! I am so glad I bought the training. It was worth every penny and then some!

The flight interview tips and fast-action worksheets were priceless. The course teaches what questions to expect in a flight interview and exactly how to answer. Some answers I used 'as is' during my interview.

Nothing speaks louder than results, as they say. Next week I start my training to fly for one of the best air medical teams in the United States. Thank you, EMS Flight Safety Network!

EMS Flight Safety Network took me by the hand and showed me what to do for every step of the get a flight job process.

Troy’s advice on how to write a flight resume and cover letter was priceless. His sample interview questions and tips on what to look for in a flight program are worth the price of the whole home-study course.

I worked really hard to earn my FP-C and CCEMT-P certifications, I don’t want a stupid mistake or something I just don’t know about the industry to keep me from earning my dream job. Flight Safety Network took care of all the details so I didn’t have to worry.

Before I found Troy and EMS Flight Safety Network I was a nervous wreck about my flight interview.

I read books and researched online forums but Troy and EMS Flight Safety Network beat them all. I now feel excited about sharing my past experience in a flight interview and getting on with my air ambulance career.

I am no longer in a state of continual worry. EMS Flight Safety Network coaching program really helped me. Troy gets it. He took the time to listen to my personal situation and teach his interview mastery course in a way that made sense to me. And that's what really matters! That I understand it and know how to use it. It has taken such a load off my mind.

Now I can relax and know I am going into my interviews completely prepared.

Troy coached me to my first flight job. Before I found EMS Flight Safety Network, I went on interviews, never got a call back and didn't understand why.

The tips in the audio course and Troy's personal coaching were right on.

After listening to the audio course and working with Troy it almost seemed "unfair." Once you know what to say and look for, and have the confidence to show your skills and talk about your past experiences, it's just a matter of time until you get hired.

I’m an EMT and Paramedic, and I want to tell you about something that’s changing my life. My friends and co-workers say I’m a great paramedic. I would say – "I’m still learning, but always try to do my best for my patients."

My biggest problem is that I’m shy and I don’t like to talk about myself - even when I know I did a good job. So when it comes to interviews, resumes, and networking, I’m probably not the best at it. But I am getting better – and I want to thank the folks who helped me.

Troy and gang at EMS Flight Safety Network are teaching me everything I need to know to become a flight nurse. That's my dream - to become a flight nurse . . . And now I know I can do it!

Troy and EMS Flight Safety Network helped get me on track for a flight medic career. I liked INSIDER training program so much that I upgraded to a custom one-on-one coaching package with Troy. It really helped me a lot!

Troy simplified the whole process and explained away any fears I had about what was going on "behind the scenes" when waiting on flight programs to call back, schedule interviews, move on to the next step, etc.

I highly recommend INSIDER training and all other EMS Flight Safety Network coaching programs. When it comes to getting a flight job, they are the second-to-none experts

I’m Karen Kramer. I’m excited to tell you I just got hired as a flight nurse for one of the best air medical programs in the United States.

I am one of the original Flight Safety Net Insiders. I joined as a charter member when the insider program first started. I read every issue cover to cover, and listened to every training CD. And most importantly, I followed the flight interview and networking tips. All the training was excellent, but the best thing I can say about INSIDER, is that it works!

I like it so much I’m keeping my membership going after I start flying. The flight and people skill tips are priceless. If you’re even thinking about flying as a nurse, medic, or pilot someday, you owe it to yourself to check out Flight Safety Net Insider training program."

I joined Flight Safety Net Insider to learn more about what air medical crews do every day. What I gained was a whole new respect for the medical crews and pilots on board medical helicopters.

INSIDER is the perfect name for this training program. The newsletter and audio CDs go deep into subjects only an INSIDER could know. I wish this type of training was around years ago. I think air medicine would be safer if it had started sooner.

I highly recommend EMS Flight Safety Network. Troy did an excellent job getting me ready for my interview in the short amount of time I had to prepare. Troy was prompt, professional and prepared for all of our coaching sessions.

Building a story board was the best part of the coaching in my opinion. I do not consider myself a great story teller and I have trouble thinking of stories on the spot. Preparing stories I wanted to tell gave me the opportunity to practice the stories I wanted to tell and brainstorm different ways to work them into the interview.

I truly feel the time with Troy was well spent. I did not feel like I was simply paying for a service, but it felt more like getting good advice from a friend.

There's so many good candidates for flight medic jobs that I felt blessed to find Troy and EMS Flight Safety Network. Troy went right to work showing me the best way to tell my story on a resume and in a flight interview.

Thanks to INSIDER training program, I know I can do it. Troy shares all kinds of things in the monthly newsletters and audio CDs that you just know you'd never hear anywhere else. He gets it and helps people like me succeed. What more can I say? If you want to compete and kick ass for a flight job, you need this training.

I did a ‘Flight Audit’ with Troy and EMS Flight Safety Network. I am very happy I did. It led to personalized coaching with Troy.

Troy’s teaching style is understandable and ground-level. He tailors the process to your needs. It is individualized, one on one, instruction. But more than simple instruction, it is dialogue. There is a difference.

Another benefit is active feedback. Ask a question and you will receive a solid answer. Not “well maybe”, but a true “yes”, “no”, or “I don’t know but this is what I think and how I feel”.

The amount of $$ you spend is little compared to the information & knowledge you have to gain.

I recommend Troy and EMS Flight Safety Network coaching without any doubts or reservations.

Whatever the “something” is that’s holding you back and keeping you from flying, Troy will find it and fix it. You will find out there is lot about flight interviewing you don’t or didn’t know. If you’re serious about flying air medical, this is definitely the way to go.
